"Reevaluating Affirmative Action: A Closer Look at Recent Developments"

Anti-affirmative action group Students for Fair Admissions has dropped its lawsuit against Yale University challenging its race-conscious admissions policies, following the Supreme Court's ruling against such practices. Yale has agreed to make several updates to its admissions process, including clarifying that race cannot be used as a factor in admissions decisions, ensuring that no one involved in admissions has access to race data, and not considering race when calculating or awarding financial aid. The lawsuit, similar to those against Harvard and UNC, stemmed from a Trump administration challenge that accused Yale of discriminating against Asian American applicants.
